A comprehensive field test was performed to evaluate the suitability of H-Coal middle distillate and full-range Exxon Donor Solvent (EDS) coal derived liquids (CDLs) as utility combustion turbine fuels. A Westinghouse W251AA 26 MW combustion turbine operated by the Philadelphia Electric Company was the test engine. No. 2 petroleum distillate fuel was also fired to establish baseline data. This program was sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute. Site modifications included a temporary CDL storage and fuel transfer system, water storage and injection equipment, an instrumented combustor, engine and emissions instrumentation and data acquisition systems, and industrial hygiene facilities required for the proper handling of the CDLs. The overall results of testing were positive for using such CDL fuels in combustion turbines for power generation. With the exception of higher combustor metal temperatures with the CDLs, and persistent fuel filter plugging with the EDS fuel, (which occurred even with increased fuel temperature and filter size), the engine operated satisfactorily during approximately 80 hours of total running over the standard range of load and water injection conditions.

The work described in this paper is a part of the DOE/LeRC “Advanced Conversion Technology Project” (ACT). The program is a multiple contract effort with funding provided by the Department of Energy and technical program management provided by NASA LeRC. Testing has been done burning a petroleum distillate fuel (ERBS fuel), a coal derived fuel (SRC II middle distillate), a petroleum residual fuel, and various blends of these fuels. Measurements are made of NOx CO, and UHC emissions, and other measurements are made to evaluate combustor performance. Results to date indicate that rich-lean diffusion flames, with low fuel bound nitrogen conversion, are achievable with very high combustion efficiencies.

A surrogate fuel has been developed to simulate the atomization and combustion performance of a practical, petroleum distillate JP-4. The surrogate is comprised of fourteen pure hydrocarbons and formulated to reproduce the distillation curve and compound class composition of the parent petroleum distillate fuel. In previous work, the atomization performance (evaluated in terms of the atomization quality in an isothermal chamber), and the combustion performance (evaluated in terms of the mean axial velocity and thermal fields in a spray-atomized, swirl-stabilized, model laboratory combustor) were found to be equivalent for the petroleum and surrogate JP-4. The present study addresses the sooting performance of the two fuels, as well as that of two reference fuels (isooctane and a high aromatic petroleum JP-5) of purposefully disparate properties. The sooting performance of the petroleum and surrogate JP-4 are nearly identical, and distinctly different from that of either the isooctane or the JP-5. The surrogate represents, as a result, an attractive fuel blend for the study of fuel compositional effects on the combustion performance of practical fuels in a spray-fired combustor.

The work described in this paper was conducted under an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Contract RP1691-2, “Evaluation of Shale Oil Residual as a Utility Gas Turbine Fuel.” An FT4A-9 engine was run at Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO), and a selected single-can combustor from the LILCO engine was run at United Technologies on No. 2 petroleum distillate fuel and hydrotreated Paraho shale oil residual, with and without water injection. The use of hot water injection was successfully demonstrated, with reduced NOx emissions and low smoke on both fuels. The EPA NOx limit of 125 ppm for fuels containing 0.25 percent nitrogen or greater was close to being met at 18.5-MW engine power with shale oil residual at a water-to-fuel mass ratio of 0.79.

The work described herein was conducted under an Electric Power Research Institute contract, Evaluation of Synthetic Fuel Character Effects on Rich-Lean Stationary Gas Turbine Combustion Systems. The purpose of this program was to determine the effect of synthetic fuel properties on combustor emissions, performance, and durability. Four synthetic fuels and No. 2 petroleum distillate fuel were tested in a subscale combustor over a wide range of conditions with the purpose of expanding the fuels property base and range of conditions beyond that of preceding programs. Nox emissions were very low and insensitive to combustor pressure and fuel-bound nitrogen. Rich-lean results show some indication of increased smoke and liner heating with reduced fuel hydrogen content, although not as consistent as the trends for lean combustors.
